Sleeping Monkey Presents...
Ghost Rider
Mar 19 2007
Was the film we saw this Orange Wednesday. You can read the full synopsis of the film at IMDB, but basically Nicholas Cage sells his soul to the Devil in return for curing his father of cancer. The father gets cured, but dies in a motorcycle accident on the same day, and Cage becomes the Ghost Rider, the Devil’s bounty hunter.
It was quite a good film, if a little cartoon-strip like. But I suppose that’s fair enough, seeing as it was adapted for screen from a Marvel cartoon strip!
On a totally different note, I saw a blog about VIRB (a different social networking site, with good potential I think, though at the moment it’s mainly web designers), and about the usage of the commenting system vs the messaging system, and I was thinking exactly the same thing today about Facebook. People don’t use the wall/commenting system in the way it should be. People use them for conversations, which is precisely what the messaging system is for. I don’t want to have to read half of one conversation on one person’s wall/profile, and have to switch to the other for the rest of it. OK, this mainly applies to MySpace and VIRB, as Facebook has a clever thing callled “Wall-to-wall” where it shows you the comments in chronological order between two people, effectively turning it into the messaging system. But on VIRB and MySpace, you have to switch between the two profiles, or just only read one half of the conversation. When will people learn to use the comments/messages right?!

So what *are* comments for? :P
Dan
Yeah, that one of the things I was thinking. I usually use the wall-to-wall option though for the exact reason you pointed out
Ben
Hence why I said mainly MySpace and VIRB!
The comments are for commenting on people’s profiles etc, not for having conversations!
Ineke
yea, but what do you mean by that?!
